Re: Re: Sticky key on a Ariette... How do you fix it?

One thing I found about the Arriette. You must be very careful disassembing and assmbling it. The one I had a few years ago was made of pine, or something of the like, and the screws strip the wood VERY easily if you're not careful.

When tightening screws, apply just the tiniest drop of contact cement on the screw before screwing it into the wood. That way you get away with only tightening it until the head just barely touches the material, and there´s no danger of ripping the wood.
But use great restraint when applying the glue!!!!!
